In Kingsburg:
As many as dozen people were injured and 50 vehicles damaged in a fog-related pileup early today south of Fresno, the California Highway Patrol said.
The chain-reaction accident shut down a portion of Highway 99's southbound lanes and scattered broken glass and mangled cars along a three-mile stretch in Kingsburg.
Rescue crews cut three people from a car that slammed into a big rig, officer Joseph Miller said. One woman was unconscious and pinned in her car for almost two hours while crews attempted to pry her out.
...Tow trucks worked to remove big rigs covering the entire southbound portion of the freeway as crash victims gathered on the freeway shoulder near the wreckage.
A bus of tourists from Canada traveling to the Ag Expo in Tulare from Fresno was reportedly involved in the crash. There was no immediate word whether any of those passengers were injured.
